"I hope it's okay that i'm staying here with you tonight, I can imagine you don't wanna be alone." Clover said quietly as she fluffed her pillow in Mikes small fort he made in the basement.

"Not alone." El repeated while the two girls laid down next to each other .

"Did something bad happen to you?" Clove asked as she looked across at El who hesitated before nodding. Clove stared at her for a moment before slightly moved her hand upwards in El's eyesight.

"Hand." El said in confirmation .

"It always makes me feel safer when people hold my hand, maybe it could help you." Clove offered as El gently put her hand in Clove's were the tan girl wrapped her fingers around El's much skinnier ones.

"Helps." El nodded as Clover offered her a smile before shutting her eyes.

Clove quickly woke with a gasp as the light shined in on her face causing the girl to rub her head, she'd been having dreams about her memories of El from last year. Looking down she gasped while seeing Max passed out next to her, red hair scattered all over the place. Clove let a small chuckle escape her lips as she reached over and softly pushed a strand of hair out of the taller girls face so she could see her face better. Her movement seemed to wake up Max because when the girl's eyes fluttered open, she only saw a slightly blurry outline of someone looking down at her.

"Ah!" Max yelled as she swung her fist, hitting Clover square in the eye, causing the girl to groan and fall on to the floor. Max sat up quickly and rubbed her eyes, immediately realized where she was and who she had just punched.

"Shit, Clove, i'm so sorry. I didn't realize it was you, are you alright?" Max asked as she hurried off the bed and got on the floor next to Clove.

"Jeez, do you deck everyone in the face? I'd hate to see your alarm clock." Clove joked as she turned over to look up at Max who smiled slightly.

"Yeah, it's a mess." Max laughed as Clove smiled.

"You sure you okay?" Max asked while looking down at the girl who nodded and gazed up at her.

"Did you sleep okay?" Clove asked as she blinked up at Max's blue orbs.

"Yeah, you cuddle in your sleep." Max said with a small chuckle while Clove flashed a bright shade of red.

"I'm sorry." the small girl quickly apologized .

"Don't be, I liked it." Max said as Clove bit her lip to hide her grin before the door swung open.

"I heard a yell, you two okay?" Levan asked as he looked at the girls oddly while they were on the floor.

"Um, yeah, we're okay Mr.Reyes." Max said as she cleared her throat.

"Well, I hope you like fresh cereal right off the stove." Levan said with a giggle as he shut the door.

"Cereal off the stove?" Max asked while Clove laughed and put her hands over her face.

"He says that so he doesn't feel bad about pouring it from the box." Clove laughed as Max did too.

"Wanna barrow some of my clothes?" she asked while they stood.

"Yeah, I hope you don't mind that I stayed last night. Who knows what would have happened if I went home that late." Max said as Clove nodded.

"I get it, is yellow okay?" Clove asked as she held out a yellow top, Max couldn't hold back the laugh.
